3.THE TRANSACTIONS

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Documents, Buyer shall, with respect to the Committed Amount, and may, with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, from time to time as requested by Sellers, enter into Transactions with an aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets acquired by Buyer not to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer to Sellers the Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Items on the Repurchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Seller, in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price. Buyer shall have the obligation, subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Documents, to enter into Transactions up to the Committed Amount and shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, which Transactions shall be entered into in the sole discretion of Buyer; provided that Buyer shall provide Sellers with at least [***] Business Days’ prior written notice before exercising its discretion to cease entering into Transactions with Sellers for all or any portion of the Uncommitted Amount. Unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer and Sellers in writing, all purchases of Eligible Assets hereunder shall be first deemed committed up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed uncommitted up to the Uncommitted Amount. Buyer and Sellers agree that the Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer in any Transaction hereunder may include Eligible Loans that are Wet Loans subject to any applicable sub-limits regarding Wet Loans set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. Buyer shall not have the right to terminate any Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount after the related Purchase Date until the related Repurchase Date.

(b)Unless otherwise agreed, Sellers shall request that Buyer enter into a Transaction by delivering (i) to Buyer, Custodian and Disbursement Agent a Transaction Notice, (ii) to Buyer, Custodian and Disbursement Agent an estimate of the Purchase Price for Eligible Assets to be purchased on the Purchase Date (which estimate may be included in a Transaction Notice) and (iii) to Custodian, the Mortgage Files for each such Eligible Asset which is proposed to be included in a Transaction by the times set forth in the Custodial Agreement, each in accordance with the times specified in the Custodial Agreement.

Each Transaction Notice shall specify the proposed Purchase Date, Purchase Price, Pricing Rate and Repurchase Date and include a Loan Schedule in respect of the Loans and Participation Interests that a Seller proposes to include in the related Transaction. In addition, each Transaction Notice shall set forth the related Purchase Price allocable to each individual Loan and the related Participation Interest. Each Transaction Notice shall clearly indicate those Loans that are intended to be Wet Loans, Wet Correspondent Loans and Dry Loans and include a Loan Schedule in respect of the Loans and Participation Interests that a Seller proposes to include in the related Transaction.

Buyer shall notify Sellers of its agreement to enter into a Transaction and confirm the terms of such Transaction by delivering to Sellers a Funding Notice specifying the Loans and Participation Interests Buyer agrees to purchase on the related Purchase Date, and any other

terms of the related Transaction, by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Funding Date provided that Sellers have delivered the related Transaction Notice prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such date and provided further that all other conditions herein and in the Custodial Agreement have been satisfied. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in the Transaction Notice delivered by Sellers to Buyer and Custodian and the terms set forth in the related Funding Notice delivered by Buyer to Sellers, the terms of the related Funding Notice shall control. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Agreement and the terms set forth in any Funding Notice, the terms of such Funding Notice shall control to the extent that the Funding Notice notes such conflict and specifies that the Funding Notice shall control.

By entering into a Transaction with Buyer, each Seller consents to the terms set forth in the related Funding Notice. The Funding Notice, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between Buyer and each Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Funding Notice relates.

Simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of each Transaction Notice, the Participation Interest in each Loan listed on such Transaction Notice shall be deemed automatically to be incorporated by reference into the Participation Schedule and included in the Participation Interests represented by the Participation Certificates. On each Business Day, Buyer shall provide to Sellers an updated cumulative schedule of all Participation Interests then subject to Transactions (each, an “End of Day Report”), and Sellers shall update the Participation Schedule on a daily basis to include all Participation Interests included in the most recently delivered End of Day Report.

Sellers agree to promptly report to Custodian and Buyer by facsimile transmission or such other method acceptable to Custodian and Buyer within [***] of discovery that any Wet Loans that were previously subject to a Transaction do not close for any reason and any Loans which are subject to a Rescission.

(c)Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, Custodian will be required to review any Loan Documents delivered in accordance with the time set forth in the Custodial Agreement. In accordance with the times specified in the Custodial Agreement, Custodian will be required to deliver to Buyer, via Electronic Transmission acceptable to Buyer, the related Custodian Loan Transmission and the related Exception Report showing the status of all Loans then held by Custodian, including but not limited to the Dry Loans and the Wet Loans which are subject to Exceptions, and the time the related Loan Documents have been released pursuant to the Custodial Agreement.

(d)Upon a Seller’s request to enter into a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(a), assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 and in Sections 9(a) and (b), as applicable, have been met, and provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer shall, with respect to the Committed Amount, and may, with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, enter into a Transaction for the purchase of the Eligible Assets included in the related Funding Notice by transferring to the Disbursement Account, via wire transfer in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement (pursuant to written wire transfer instructions

provided by a Seller on or prior to such Purchase Date), the Purchase Price in immediately available funds on the related Purchase Date and not later than the related time set forth in the Custodial Agreement. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price paid in connection with any Purchased Asset that is purchased in any Transaction includes a mutually negotiated premium allocated to the portion of such Purchased Asset that constitutes the related Servicing Rights in connection with such Loan.

(e)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBO Base Rate:

(i)Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate” in Section 2 are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Transactions as provided herein;

(ii)Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the Applicable Margin plus the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate” in Section 2 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Transactions is to be determined is not likely to adequately cover the cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding the Loans hereunder; or

(iii)it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on the LIBO Base Rate;

then Buyer shall give Sellers prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (A) Buyer shall be under no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to additional Loans hereunder, unless, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, Sellers agree to pay a rate per annum as determined by Buyer taking into account the increased cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding the Loans and related Participation Interests hereunder and using an index rate comparable to that used by Buyer in connection with other comparable facilities provided by Buyer, and (B) Sellers shall, at their option, either repurchase the Purchased Assets then subject to a Transaction within [***] days (or such shorter period as is reasonably practical) or pay a Pricing Rate at a rate per annum as determined by Buyer taking into account the increased cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding the Loans and the related Participation Interests and using an index rate comparable to that used by Buyer in connection with other comparable facilities provided by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent confirmed by Buyer in writing (i) any determination by Buyer under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3(e) shall be made in good faith and consistently with other lending facilities with similarly situated counterparties of Buyer and (ii) Seller shall not be required to pay any such additional compensation unless Buyer is seeking similar compensation from its similarly situated counterparties and not singling Sellers out for additional compensation.

(f)Sellers shall repurchase from Buyer and Buyer shall sell to Sellers the related Purchased Assets on each related Repurchase Date. Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset.

In connection with any such repurchase, Buyer shall (i) return the related Participation Certificate (so long as such Participation Certificate is not related to any Loan or related Participation Interest that is a Purchased Asset that remains subject to a Transaction) to Sellers pursuant to Sellers’ written instructions and (ii) cooperate with Sellers in Sellers’ obtaining the related Purchased Assets (and related Purchased Items), as applicable, from Custodian pursuant to the terms of the Custodial Agreement at Seller’s expense on (or after) the related Repurchase Date.

(g)Provided that the applicable conditions in Section 9(b) have been satisfied and provided further no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless Buyer is notified by Sellers to the contrary not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least [***] Business Days prior to any Payment Date, on each related Payment Date the Purchased Assets shall automatically and immediately become subject to a new Transaction. Sellers shall (i) deliver an updated Servicing Transmission and (ii) cause Custodian to deliver an updated Custodian Loan Transmission and an Exception Report, with respect to such Purchased Assets. For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Payment Date and the related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing Side Letter.

(h)Sellers shall have the right to repurchase any or all of the Purchased Assets on any day that is not a Repurchase Date upon providing [***] prior written notice thereof to Buyer by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on [***] prior to the proposed date of repurchase, without incurring any breakage fees. If such notice is given, the Repurchase Price specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with the Price Differential to such date on the amount prepaid.

(i)If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i)shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loans purchased pursuant to it or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof other than, in each case, Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, which are indemnified under Section 5 hereof;

(ii)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Base Rate hereunder; or

(iii)shall impose on Buyer any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount

receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Buyer shall give Sellers prompt notice thereof by delivering to Sellers a certificate with reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection as calculated by Buyer in good faith (a “Yield Protection Notice”), which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Sellers shall, at their option, within [***] Business Days of its receipt of any such Yield Protection Notice, either (A) (1) notify Buyer of its intent to terminate this Agreement (without the imposition of any form of penalty, breakage costs or exit fees) and (2) repurchase all Purchased Assets within [***] days of such notice to Buyer or (B) pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred; provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding clause (B), Sellers shall only be obligated to pay those amounts pursuant to this Section 3(i) to the extent incurred by Buyer (1) within [***] days prior to delivery of the Yield Protection Notice to Sellers or (2) on or after delivery of such Yield Protection Notice to Sellers. In the event Sellers terminate this Agreement and repurchase all Purchased Assets pursuant to clause (A) above, in no event shall Sellers pay (i) any increased costs specified in the Yield Protection Notice or (ii) any increased costs accrued during the [***] days prior to receipt of such Yield Protection Notice.

If Buyer shall have determined in good faith that either (A) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority or Official Body made subsequent to the date hereof; or (B) compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with: (1) any directive or request from any Governing Authority or Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof or (2) the requirements of, whether such compliance is commenced prior to or after the date hereof, any of (x) Basel III or (y) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act, or any existing rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from the United States bank regulatory agencies relating to Basel III or the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act; shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material to the extent Buyer or such corporation determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the obligations or agreements of Buyer hereunder, then, in any such case, Buyer shall give Sellers prompt notice thereof by delivering to Sellers a certificate with reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection as calculated by Buyer in good faith (a “Capital Adequacy Notice”), which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Sellers shall, at their option, within [***] Business Days of its receipt of any such Capital Adequacy Notice, either (A) (1) notify Buyer of its intent to terminate this Agreement (without the imposition of any form of penalty, breakage costs or exit fees) and (2) repurchase all Purchased Assets within [***] days of such notice to Buyer or (B) pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction; provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding clause (B), Sellers shall only be obligated to pay those amounts pursuant to this Section 3(i) to the extent incurred by Buyer (1) within [***] days prior to delivery of the Capital Adequacy Notice to Sellers or (2) on or after delivery of such Capital Adequacy Notice to Sellers. In the event Sellers terminate this Agreement and repurchase all Purchased Assets pursuant to clause (A) above, in no event shall

Sellers pay (i) any increased costs specified in the Capital Adequacy Notice or (ii) any increased costs accrued during the [***] days prior to receipt of such Capital Adequacy Notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent confirmed in writing by Buyer, (i) any determination by Buyer under this Section 3(i) shall be made in good faith and consistently with other lending facilities with similarly situated counterparties of Buyer and (ii) Sellers shall not be required to pay any such additional compensation unless Buyer is seeking similar compensation from its similarly situated counterparties and not singling Sellers out for additional compensation.

4.PAYMENTS; COMPUTATIONS; FACILITY FEE

(a)Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments to be made by Sellers under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer at Citibank, New York, Account Number [***], For the A/C of Citibank, N.A., ABA# [***], Reference: United Shore, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Each Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

(b)Computations. The Price Differential shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable and all accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be due and payable on a monthly basis on each monthly Payment Date. Upon the written request of a Seller, provided at least [***] Business Days prior to any monthly Payment Date or any Repurchase Date, Buyer will provide to Sellers a written estimate of the total accrued and unpaid Price Differential payable on such Payment Date or Repurchase Date, as applicable. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to provide such written estimate at least [***] Business Days’ prior to the applicable Payment Date or Repurchase Date, as applicable; provided that Buyer’s failure to provide such estimate within such time frame shall not affect the accrual of Price Differential payable on such Payment Date or Repurchase Date, as applicable.

(c)Facility Fee. Sellers agree to pay to Buyer an annual Facility Fee, such payment to be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. The first installment of the Facility Fee shall be payable on Closing Date, and each succeeding monthly installment shall be payable on the monthly Payment Date of each calendar month commencing in November, 2020. Buyer may, in its sole discretion and upon prior written notice to Sellers, net any installment of the Facility Fee then due and payable from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to Sellers. In the event that the Termination Date is accelerated to a date which is prior to the payment in full of all installments of the Facility Fee, the outstanding installments of the Facility Fee for the applicable twelve (12) month period shall be payable on the Termination Date. Each installment of the Facility Fee is and shall be deemed to be fully earned as of the Closing Date and non-refundable when paid.

(d)Payment Date Obligations. If on any Payment Date, Income on deposit to the Collection Account is insufficient to pay any of the amounts specified in Sections 7(b) or 7(c), as applicable, Sellers shall, on such Payment Date, remit or cause such amounts to be remitted to Buyer at the account specified in Section 4(a) above.

5.TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

(a)All payments made by Sellers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by a Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If a Seller determines that it is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding; (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

(b)In addition, each Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(c)Each Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes on amounts payable under this Section 5, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer shall have provided Sellers with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Sellers, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d)Any Buyer (including any assignee) that is a United States Person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) shall deliver to Sellers on or prior to the date on which such Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of a Seller executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-9 certifying that such Buyer is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Any Buyer (including any assignee) that is not a United States Person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Foreign Buyer”) shall provide Sellers on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer (or acquires an interest in this Agreement), and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Sellers, with properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any other such forms, successor forms, or documentation prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income

tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Each Foreign Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Sellers in writing of its legal inability to do so. For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Sellers with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 5(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Sellers shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes (but at the sole expense of such Foreign Buyer). In addition, a Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Sellers executed originals of any other IRS Form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Sellers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. If a payment made to a Foreign Buyer would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Code Sections 1471(b) and 1472(b)), Buyer shall deliver to Sellers at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Seller as may be necessary for such Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of a Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Sellers contained in this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(f)Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Sellers that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Sellers in the absence of an Event of Default by a Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

6.MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a)If at any time (A) either (i) the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate MV Margin Amount for all such Transactions, or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Par Margin Amount for all such Transactions (either such event, a “Margin Deficit”), and (B) such Margin Deficit equals or exceeds the Margin Threshold on an aggregate basis, then Buyer may, by written notice to Sellers, require Sellers in such Transactions to transfer to Buyer cash within the time period specified in Section 6(c) below, so that both (A) the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate MV Margin Amount and (B) the cash and aggregate unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Assets, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Par Margin Amount (either such requirement, a “Margin Call”).

(b)[***]

(c)Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any means provided in Section 21 hereof. Any notice given on a Business Day on or prior to 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the next Business Day. Any notice given on a Business Day following 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day following such notice. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 6, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Sellers and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Sellers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any Transaction at any time a Margin Call is outstanding and has not been cured by Sellers (not taking into account the period provided in this subsection (b) for Seller to satisfy any Margin Call).

7.INCOME PAYMENTS

(a)Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Sellers shall cause all Income received by Servicer, with respect to Purchased Assets to (i) be deposited directly by the Servicer into the Collection Account on the next monthly Servicer Remittance Date following receipt by the Servicer. Sellers shall cause any Income received by Seller with respect to any Purchased Assets to be deposited directly into the Collection Account within [***] Business Days of its receipt.

(b)Provided that no Default in is existence and no Event of Default has occurred, Buyer shall, or shall direct the Collection Account Bank on each Payment Date to, apply such Income on deposit in the Collection Account in the following order of priority:

(i)first, to Buyer, in payment of (A) any accrued and unpaid Price Differential to the extent not previously paid by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to terms of this Agreement, and (B) all other costs, fees and other amounts due and payable to Buyer (other than any Margin Deficit) pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents;

(ii)second, to Buyer, an amount sufficient to eliminate any Margin Deficit;

(iii)third, to Buyer, (A) in reduction of the Purchase Price of any Liquidated Asset, an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Liquidated Asset, and (B) in reduction of the Purchase Price for any reductions in the principal balance with respect to the Loans, an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price that corresponds to such reduction; and

(iv)fourth, to Sellers, any remaining funds.

(c)In the event a Default is in existence or an Event of Default has occurred, Buyer shall, or shall direct the Collection Account Bank, to apply such Income on deposit in the Collection Account in the following order of priority:

(ii)second, to Buyer, an amount sufficient to eliminate any Margin Deficit;

(iv)fourth, to Buyer, in reduction of the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price and any other unpaid Obligations until such amount is reduced to zero; and

(v)fifth, any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, shall be paid over to the Sellers, unless otherwise required to be paid over to another Person (including without limitation Buyer, its Affiliates or any other Person pursuant to any Program Document) by any court or other Governmental Authority or pursuant to applicable law (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

(d)Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to Section 7(b) if either (i) such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or

simultaneously therewith a Seller transfers to Buyer cash sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (ii) a Default has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid.

8.SECURITY INTEREST; BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a)Each Seller and Buyer intend that each Transaction hereunder be a sale to Buyer of the Purchased Assets (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not a loan from Buyer to each Seller secured by the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, the related Servicing Rights). However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes such Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for each Seller’s payment and performance of all of its Obligations, each Seller hereby grants Buyer a perfected first priority security interest in all of such Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired: (i) all Purchased Assets and the rights of each Seller with respect to all Loans identified on a Funding Notice or any Transaction Notice delivered by Buyer to Sellers and Custodian from time to time, (ii) all interests of such Seller in the related Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all promissory notes related to such Purchased Assets, (iii) all interests of such Seller in any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to the related Loans, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Loan accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, (iv) the Servicing Records, and the related Servicing Rights in connection with any Purchased Assets, (v) all rights of such Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File, and all rights of such Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File, (vi) all Income relating to such Purchased Assets, (vii) the Collection Account and all Income deposited therein relating to such Purchased Assets, (viii) each Servicer Custodial Account (if any) and all Income deposited therein relating to such Purchased Assets, (ix) such Seller’s right to any accounts related to the Purchased Assets and all amounts on deposit therein, (x) all Loan Guaranty Certificates, other mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any Mortgage Insurance Certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Assets and all claims and payments thereunder and all rights of such Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, (xi) all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Assets, (xii) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Assets or the related Mortgaged Property and all Insurance Proceeds and all rights of such Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, (xiii) any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or any related takeout commitments (including any Takeout Commitments), if any, relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto, in each case relating to the Purchased Assets, (xiv) all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”, “deposit accounts”, “documents,” “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, and (xv) any and all replacements,

substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively the “Purchased Items”). Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest such Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and any other collateral granted by such Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder.

Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that any of its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including, without limitation, any security interest such Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and Loans and any other collateral granted by such Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder. Each Seller further acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to the Loans, except as expressly set forth herein.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Seller is deemed to retain any residual interest in such Servicing Rights, such Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Servicing Rights as indicated herein above. In addition, United Shore shall cause the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, to grant, assign and pledge to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all the related Servicing Records and rights to receive the related Servicing Records or other documents that constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File with respect to any Loan, and all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by United Shore or Servicer (as applicable) in its capacity as Servicer, and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for each Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder.

(b)At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the expense of Sellers, Sellers will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Sellers also hereby authorize Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Sellers to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(c)No Seller shall (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 12(m) hereof, (ii) change its name, identity or entity form or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items, or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given Buyer at least [***] prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken

all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.

(d)Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Seller and in the name of such Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items without such Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of such Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Sellers, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, to do the following:

(i)in the name of such Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items whenever payable;

(ii)to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Items;

(iii)(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, to send “goodbye” letters and Section 404 Notices on behalf of such Seller and any applicable Servicer or Subservicer; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Seller with respect to any Purchased Items; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Items as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and each Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer

deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Sellers might do.

Each Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, shall have no expiration date and shall survive termination of this Agreement. This power of attorney shall not revoke any prior powers of attorney granted by any Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.

Each Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 19 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items.

(e)The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Purchased Items and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Sellers for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f)If a Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Documents and Buyer performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Sellers to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

(g)Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Purchased Items or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of Seller or otherwise.

(h)All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

(i)At Buyer’s sole option, exercisable prospectively or retrospectively with respect to the Purchased Assets in whole or in part, and without notice to a Seller or any other person, (i) the sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer on each Purchase Date may be deemed a sale of a 100% participation interest, constituting 100% beneficial ownership, of the related Loans, in lieu of a sale to Buyer of the Purchased Assets themselves, (ii) to such extent any Seller is deemed to

retain legal title to the Purchased Assets solely to service or supervise the servicing thereof and (iii) this Agreement will be deemed the related participation agreement in such event.

(j)The foregoing grants of security interest set forth in Section 8(a) are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Participation Seller is a Special Purpose Entity wholly owned directly by United Shore.

(c)Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or affecting any of the property thereof before any Governmental Authority, (i) as to which individually or in the aggregate there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse decision which would be reasonably likely to exceed the greater of (A) [***] and (B) [***], (ii) which questions the validity or enforceability of any of the Program Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or (iii) which seeks to prevent the consummation of any Transaction.

(d)No Breach. Neither (i) the execution and delivery of the Program Documents, nor (ii) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the applicable Governing Documents or any Requirement of Law, or other material agreement or instrument or Contractual Obligation, to which a Seller, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is bound or to which any of them or their property is subject, or constitute a default under any such material agreement or instrument, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

(e)Action. Each Seller has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of each of the Program Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each Program Document has been duly and validly executed and delivered by a Seller and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

Subsidiaries and Affiliates in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of United Shore, adequate. Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by United Shore in connection with a Transaction and the execution and delivery of the Program Documents have been or will be paid when due.

Each of the Participation Interests subject to Transactions hereunder complies with the representations and warranties listed in Schedule 1-B hereto. The review and inquiries made on behalf of Seller in connection with the making of the representations and warranties listed in Schedule 1-A and Schedule 1-B hereto have been made by Persons having the requisite expertise, knowledge and background to verify such representations and warranties. United Shore has no knowledge of any material fact that could reasonably lead it to expect that the Market Value of any Purchased Asset will not be obtained or realized. Each of the Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset. With respect to each Purchased Asset purchased by United Shore from another Qualified Originator, (a) such

15.REPURCHASE OF PURCHASED ASSETS AND LOANS

Upon discovery by any Seller of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement, Sellers shall give prompt written notice thereof to Buyer. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule 1-A with respect to the Purchased Assets that are Loans and Schedule 1-B with respect to the Purchased Assets that are Participation Interests, shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer. The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete due diligence investigation in connection with its purchase of any Purchased Asset shall not affect Buyer’s right to demand repurchase of such Purchased Asset as provided under this Agreement. Sellers shall, upon the earlier of a Seller’s discovery or a Seller receiving notice with respect to any Purchased Asset of (a) any breach of a

representation or warranty contained in Schedule 1-A with respect to Purchased Assets that are Loans and Schedule 1-B with respect to the Purchased Assets that are Participation Interests, or (b) any failure to deliver any of the items required to be delivered as part of the related Mortgage File within the time period required for delivery pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cure such breach or delivery failure in all material respects. If on the Business Day after the earlier of a Seller’s discovery of such breach or delivery failure or a Seller receiving notice thereof that such breach or delivery failure has not been remedied by Sellers and such breach or delivery failure would cause Buyer to require the repurchase of such Purchased Asset, a Seller shall promptly upon receipt of written instructions from Buyer repurchase such Purchased Asset at a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset by wire transfer to the account designated by Buyer; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, such obligation to repurchase such Purchased Asset shall not affect Buyer’s right to immediately reduce the Market Value of such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms hereof. Income with respect to such Purchased Asset received by Buyer after payment of the Repurchase Price shall be remitted to Sellers in accordance with Section 7. In the event that it is discovered that the circumstances with respect to any such Loan or Purchased Asset are not accurately reflected in any of the applicable representations and warranties made by Sellers set forth in Schedule 1-A with respect to Purchased Assets that are Loans and Schedule 1-B with respect to the Purchased Assets that are Participation Interests to this Agreement, notwithstanding the actual knowledge or lack of knowledge of any Seller, and notwithstanding that such representation and warranty is made “to Seller’s knowledge” or “to the best of Seller’s knowledge,” then such representation and warranty shall be deemed to be breached.

19.REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18(g) or 18(h)), shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(a)

(i)The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (provided that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Each Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase the Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income then on deposit in the Collection Account and all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder; Sellers shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all original papers, Records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in the possession and/or control of Sellers; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to the Purchased Assets, the Loans and the related Servicing Rights shall be deemed transferred to Buyer or its designee.

(ii)Buyer shall have the right to (A) sell or cause to be sold, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem commercially reasonable upon Buyer’s exercise of its rights as owner of the Purchased Assets, any or all Purchased Assets and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such of the Purchased Assets, to give Sellers credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the related Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder, provided, however, with respect to Purchased Assets with a Market Value of zero, Buyer shall in its sole discretion either sell such Purchased Assets in accordance with clause (A) of this Section 19(a)(ii) or release such Purchased Assets to Sellers. Sellers shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied in accordance with Section 7 hereof.

(iii)Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and declare all obligations of Sellers to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in accordance with Section 21 hereof; provided that no such notice shall be required for an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18(g) or 18(h).

(iv)The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell the Purchased Assets upon Buyer’s exercise of its rights as owner of the Purchased Assets, on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate any Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

(v)To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Purchased Items shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least [***] days before such sale or other disposition.

(b)Each Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that the obligations of each Seller under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Sellers to which each Seller pledges its full faith and credit. In addition to its rights hereunder, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of a Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their respective designees (including Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets, any other Purchased Items and their proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer, or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, to a Seller against all of a Seller's obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement among the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(c)Buyer shall have the right as owner of the Purchased Assets to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records upon Buyer’s exercise of its rights as owner of the Purchased Assets, and all other files of Sellers relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Sellers or any third party acting for Seller and Sellers shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request; provided that if any Servicing Records also relate to assets other than the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall be entitled only to copies of such Servicing Records, rather than originals. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Sellers contained in this Agreement. Buyer has the right pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Participation Agreement, and other Program Documents to take possession of the related Loans and retitle any Loans away from United Shore at the sole cost and expense of Sellers.

(d)Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Buyer determines appropriate and as is consistent with the applicable law.

(e)Buyer shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets, and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder or by law to do. Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver.

(f)[Reserved].

(g)In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser or a secured party, as applicable, under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(h)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required under applicable law, following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Sellers.

(i)Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right such Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Sellers also waive, to the extent permitted by law, any defense a Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets and any Purchased Items or from any other election of remedies. Each Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(j)Each Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof. Sellers shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate).

20.DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.

21.NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein and under the Custodial Agreement (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including, without limitation, by facsimile or Electronic Transmission as described below) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof); or, as to any party, at such other address or such other intended recipient as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.

Notices and other communications to Buyer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication pursuant to procedures approved by Buyer; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to Buyer by a Seller pursuant to Section 3(b) if Buyer has notified such Seller that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section 3(b) by electronic communication. Buyer or Sellers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless Buyer otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

22.USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

40.SINGLE AGREEMENT

Each of Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, Sellers and Buyer each agree (a) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (b) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and

other transfers in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

41.INTENT

(a)Sellers and Buyer intend and acknowledge that (i) each Transaction and the Agreement is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable) and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable); (ii) all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) each Purchased Asset constitutes either a “mortgage loan” or “an interest in a mortgage” as such terms are used in the Bankruptcy Code and (iv) the grant of the security interest/pledge of the Purchased Assets (i.e., the Related Credit Enhancement) in Section 8(a) constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties recognize and intend that each Transaction is a “repurchase transaction” or “reverse repurchase transaction” on “mortgage loans” or “interests” in “mortgage loans” (as such terms are used in section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code). Each party hereto further agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder as a “master netting agreement,” “repurchase agreement” and/or “securities contract” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)The parties intend and acknowledge that (i)(1) for so long as Buyer is a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or another entity listed in Sections 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code, Buyer shall be entitled to, without limitation, the liquidation, termination, acceleration, netting, set-off, and non-avoidability rights afforded to parties such as Buyer to “repurchase agreements” pursuant to Sections 559, 362(b)(7) and 546(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, “securities contracts” pursuant to Sections 555, 362(b)(6) and 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and “master netting agreements” pursuant to Sections 561, 362(b)(27) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (2) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets and other Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 19 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; (ii) Buyer’s right to set-off claims and appropriate and apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit of the account of any Affiliate against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Sellers pursuant to Section 45 hereof is a contractual right as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 561; and (iii) any payments or transfers of property made

with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” as such terms are defined in Bankruptcy Code Sections 741(5) and 741(8).

(c)Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

(d)The parties hereby agree that all Servicing Agreements and any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the Purchased Assets shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 101(47)(a)(v) of Title 11 of the USC and part of the “contract” as such term is used in Section 741 of Title 11 of the USC.

42.CONFIDENTIALITY

The Program Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder (the “Confidential Information”) are proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Sellers in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer except for (a) disclosure to such party’s Affiliates, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants; provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions, or (b) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body, or (c) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any interest rate protection agreement hereunder, or (d) when circumstances reasonably permit, any disclosures or filing of this Agreement required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws; provided that in no event shall any Confidential Information other than this Agreement (excluding in all cases the Pricing Side Letter and all terms set forth therein) be disclosed or filed publicly; and provided further that in the case of disclosure by any party pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) such disclosure is made in any party’s financial statements or footnotes as required by such party’s accountants, and Buyer receives prior notice of such disclosure, in accordance with GAAP, and (f) such disclosures are made to buyers or prospective buyers of such party’s business, and its counsel, accountants, representatives and agents; provided that such disclosure is made pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement acceptable to the non-disclosing party and the disclosing party is responsible for the breach of such non-disclosure agreement.

For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or (ii) any specific pricing information or other commercial terms, including the amount of any fees, expenses, rates or payments arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

43.SERVICING

(a)Each Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Assets to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices and pursuant to the related underlying Servicing Agreement (if applicable).

Upon any such termination, Seller shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 13(hh) as to the delivery of the Servicing Records and the physical servicing of each Loans.

(b)During the period United Shore is servicing the Purchased Assets, (i) Sellers agree that Buyer is the owner of the Servicing Rights and all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Loans (the “Servicing Records”), and (ii) Sellers grant Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Assets and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Sellers or their designee to service in conformity with this Section 43 and any other obligation of Sellers to Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, each Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records in trust for Buyer and to safeguard, or cause each Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, to safeguard, such Servicing Records and to deliver them, or cause any such Servicer or Subservicer to deliver them to the extent permitted under the related Servicing Agreement promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request or otherwise as required by operation of Section 13(hh) hereof. It is understood and agreed by the parties that prior to an Event of Default, United Shore, as servicer shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Purchased Assets.

(c)If any Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a Servicer (other than United Shore) or Subservicer, or if the servicing of any Loans is to be transferred to another Servicer or a Subservicer, as applicable, United Shore shall provide a copy

of the related Servicing Agreement and an Instruction Letter executed by such Subservicer to Buyer at least [***] Business Days prior to such Purchase Date or transfer date, as applicable, which Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, United Shore shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such other Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable, to servicer or subservice the Loans, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)Upon prior written notice following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event (subject to any applicable cure period), Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate any Servicer or any Subservicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets, without payment of any penalty or termination fee under the related Servicing Agreement, or any other related agreement, as applicable, and free and clear of any obligations (including without limitation any obligation to pay or reimburse any previous servicer for outstanding servicing advances). Upon receipt of such notice or upon resignation of any Servicer or any Subservicer, Seller and the applicable Servicer or Subservicer shall cooperate in transferring the applicable servicing and management of the Purchased Assets to a successor appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(f)Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to appoint a third party to perform due diligence with respect to United Shore’s servicing facilities at any time. United Shore shall cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees to provide access to United Shore’s servicing facilities including without limitation its books and records with respect to Seller’s servicing portfolio and the Purchased Assets. In addition to the foregoing, United Shore shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time, United Shore’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that United Shore or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Servicer or any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of United Shore, United Shore shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Servicer or such Subservicer and to cause such Servicer or such Subservicer to cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees in connection with any due diligence performed by Buyer and/or such designees in accordance with this Section 43(f). Each Seller and Buyer further agree that all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with any due diligence or inspection performed pursuant to this Section 43(f) shall be paid by Buyer, subject to Section 3 of the Pricing Side Letter.

44.PERIODIC DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews with respect to the Loans and related Participation Interests and request any diligence material that is in the possession of a Seller regarding the Loans and related Participation

Interests, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise, and each Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than [***] Business Days’) prior notice to Sellers, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of a Seller and/or Custodian; provided that (a) upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall be required and (b) prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, any such on-site inspection by Buyer shall be limited to no more than three (3) times per each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the Closing Date) unless otherwise agreed to by Sellers and Buyer.

Sellers also shall make available to Buyer upon reasonable (but no less than [***] Business Days’) prior notice a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Loans and related Participation Interests. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase the Loans and related Participation Interests from Sellers based solely upon the information provided by Sellers to Buyer in the Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any time to conduct a partial or complete Due Diligence Review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports, new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Loan and related Participation Interest. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Each Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Loans and related Participation Interests in the possession, or under the control, of Sellers. In addition, Buyer has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews (including, without limitation, operational, legal, corporate and background due diligence) of each Seller, the respective directors, officers, employees and significant shareholders thereof. Sellers and Buyer further agree that all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 44 shall be paid by Sellers, subject to Section 3 of the Pricing Side Letter.

45.SET-OFF

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by this Agreement and by law, Buyer shall have the right following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to Sellers, any such notice being expressly waived by a Seller to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Sellers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or

claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of a Seller. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its Affiliates to a Seller against all of each Seller’s obligations to Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between a Seller and any Affiliate of Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Sellers after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

46.ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement and the other Program Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and thereto and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein and therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party hereto.

47.JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

The Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that they are jointly and severally liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and liabilities of each of the Sellers hereunder. The Sellers hereby further acknowledge and agree that (a) a Default or an Event of Default is hereby considered a Default or an Event of Default by each Seller, and (b) the Buyer shall have no obligation to proceed against one Seller before proceeding against the other Seller.

ANNEX I

BUYER ACTING AS AGENT

This Annex I forms a part of the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of October 30, 2020, (the “Agreement”) by and among United Shore Financial Services, LLC, United Shore Repo Seller 3 LLC, and Citibank, N.A. This Annex I sets forth the terms and conditions governing all transactions in which Buyer selling assets or buying assets, as the case may be (“Agent”), in a Transaction is acting as agent for one or more third parties (each, a “Principal”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1.Additional Representations. Agent hereby makes the following representations, which shall continue during the term of any Transaction: Principal has duly authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Agreement and the other Program Documents on its behalf, has the power to so authorize Agent and to enter into the Transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the other Program Documents and to perform the obligations of Buyer under such Transactions, and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution and delivery by Agent and such performance by it.

2.Identification of Principals. Agent agrees (a) to provide the other party, prior to the date on which the parties agree to enter into any Transaction under the Agreement, with a written list of Principals for which it intends to act as Agent (which list may be amended in writing from time to time with the consent of the other party) and (b) to provide the other party, before the close of business on the next business day after orally agreeing to enter into a Transaction, with notice of the specific Principal or Principals for whom it is acting in connection with such Transaction. If (i) Agent fails to identify such Principal or Principals prior to the close of business on such next business day or (ii) the other party shall determine in its sole discretion any Principal or Principals identified by Agent are not acceptable to it, the other party may reject and rescind any Transaction with such Principal or Principals, return to Agent any Purchased Assets or portion of the Purchase Price, as the case may be, previously transferred to the other party and refuse any further performance under such Transaction, and Agent shall immediately return to the other party any portion of the Purchase Price or Purchased Assets, as the case may be, previously transferred to Agent in connection with such Transaction; provided, however, that (A) the other party shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) notify Agent of its determination to reject and rescind such Transaction and (B) to the extent that any performance was rendered by any party under any Transaction rejected by the other party, and such party shall remain entitled to any Price Differential or other amounts that would have been payable to it with respect to such performance if such Transaction had not been rejected. The other party acknowledges that Agent shall not have any obligation to provide it with confidential information regarding the financial status of its Principals; Agent agrees, however, that it will assist the other party in obtaining from Agent’s Principals such Information regarding the financial status of such Principals as the other party may reasonably request.

Annex 1-1

3.Limitation of Agent’s Liability. The parties expressly acknowledge that if the representations of Agent under the Agreement, including this Annex I, are true and correct in all material respects during the term of any Transaction and Agent otherwise complies with the provisions of this Annex I, then (a) Agent’s obligations under the Agreement shall not include a guarantee of performance by its Principal or Principals; provided that Agent shall remain liable for performance pursuant to Section 10 of the Agreement, and (b) the other party’s remedies shall not include a right of setoff in respect of rights or obligations, if any, of Agent arising in other transactions in which Agent is acting as principal.

4.Multiple Principals.

(a)In the event that Agent proposes to act for more than one Principal hereunder, Agent and the other party shall elect whether (i) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions entered into on behalf of separate Principals or (ii) to aggregate such Transactions as if they were transactions by a single Principal. Failure to make such an election in writing shall be deemed an election to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of a single Principal.

(b)In the event that Agent and the other party elect (or are deemed to elect) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of separate Principals, the parties agree that (i) Agent will provide the other party, together with the notice described in Section 2(b) of this Annex I, notice specifying the portion of each Transaction allocable to the account of each of the Principals for which it is acting (to the extent that any such Transaction is allocable to the account of more than one Principal); (ii) the portion of any individual Transaction allocable to each Principal shall be deemed a separate Transaction under the Agreement; (iii) the margin maintenance obligations of Sellers under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction basis (unless the parties agree to determine such obligations on a Principal-by-Principal basis); and (iv) Buyer’s remedies under the Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if Agent had entered into a separate Agreement with the other party on behalf of each of its Principals.

(c)In the event that Agent and the other party elect to treat Transactions under the Agreement as if they were transactions by a single Principal, the parties agree that (i) Agent’s notice under Section 2(b) of this Annex I need only identify the names of its Principals but not the portion of each Transaction allocable to each Principal’s account; (ii) the margin maintenance obligations of Sellers under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall, subject to any greater requirement imposed by applicable law, be determined on an aggregate basis for all Transactions entered into by Agent on behalf of any Principal; and (iii) Buyer’s remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if all Principals were a single Buyer.

Annex 1-2

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement (including, without limitation, this Annex I), the parties agree that any Transactions by Agent on behalf of an employee benefit plan under ERISA shall be treated as Transactions on behalf of separate Principals in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Annex I (and all margin maintenance obligations of the parties shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction basis).

5.Interpretation of Terms. All references to “Buyer” in the Agreement shall, subject to the provisions of this Annex I (including, among other provisions, the limitations on Agent’s liability in Section 3 of this Annex I), be construed to reflect that (i) each Principal shall have, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions entered into by Agent on its behalf, the rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations of a “Buyer”, directly entering into such Transaction or Transactions with the other party under the Agreement, and (ii) Agent’s Principal or Principals have designated Agent as their sole agent for performance of Buyer’s obligations to Sellers and for receipt of performance by Sellers of its obligations to Buyer in connection with any Transaction or Transactions under the Agreement (including, among other things, as Agent for each Principal in connection with transfers of Loans, securities, cash or other property and as agent for giving and receiving all notices under the Agreement). Both Agent and its Principal or Principals shall be deemed “parties” to the Agreement and all references to a “party” or “either party” in the Agreement shall be deemed revised accordingly.
